Chapter 21 Traveling through time without a space? Why not just build one yourself?
"Miss! They are simply going too far!"
When Qiao Er saw her coming, she spoke in a voice like a bamboo tube pouring beans:
"Among the private property that the Second Master wants to hand over, there is a key to a warehouse on North Street, which is filled with treasures that he has embezzled over the years!"
"We were supposed to move the things in the warehouse back today, but Manager Liu had transferred all the people away! I was wondering why I saw the Second Master whispering with him just now. They were just stalling for time! They wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to move as many things as possible!"
Butler Liu drooped his eyelids and said calmly:
"No, you should provide evidence when you speak. You can't convict me based on your hurtful words."
Yun Qingqing understood.
Although both the Yin and Yang account books were seized, given Yun Zhiping's style, many valuable items might not have been entered into the account books. They might have been directly stored in the warehouse. As a result, now that the matter has been exposed, he has taken advantage of the loophole and wants to race against time to transfer more property.
North Street needed manpower, so all the strong laborers in the mansion were transferred to South Street. It would take at least an hour or two to redeploy them.
Whether going out to hire people or asking for help from the Regent's Palace, it would take time. By then, even if the warehouse was not completely emptied, it would be almost empty.
She sneered and asked Qiao'er:
“How long has Yun Zhiping been out?
"About an incense stick ago, they should be almost at the warehouse by now." Qiao'er said angrily.
Yun Qingqing nodded and smiled calmly:
"It's just a warehouse of stuff. It doesn't require so many people. Let's go and take a look."
"...Ah?" Qiao'er looked confused.
Yun Qingqing had already walked to the stable, led a black and shiny horse, and rode on it.
"All we have to do is get to the warehouse before them. Come, I'll take you for a ride."
"Miss...you don't know how to ride a horse." Qiao'er said softly.
After a moment.
The black horse carried the two girls out of the Yun Mansion gate. Qiao'er hugged her young lady's waist tightly, closed her eyes and screamed:
"Miss, please slow down..."
We drove at full speed and soon arrived at the door of the North Street warehouse, where we met a group of laborers carrying large and small boxes and heading out.
"Who told you to touch the young lady's things? Put them down!"
Seeing this, Qiao'er didn't care about her weak legs, jumped off her horse, blocked the door and shouted angrily.
Yun Zhiping was directing the laborers to work in the yard. He had never expected Yun Qingqing to come so quickly. His eyelids twitched and he quickly came over to apologize with a smile:
"Qingqing, don't get me wrong. Second Uncle saw that you were preparing for your wedding and might not have time to deal with these trivial matters, so he brought people here to help."
"Oh? Really?"
Yun Qingqing crossed his arms and looked at the leading laborer with a sneer:
"Then tell me, where did he ask you to move these things to?"
Seeing that the employer was polite to the young lady, the leader did not doubt it and replied:
"In reply to your Excellency's question, yes..."
"Of course we have to move it back to the Yun Mansion and into the warehouse in the mansion!" Yun Zhiping quickly winked at the team leader and spoke hastily.
"The inventory of items in the warehouse has been checked. Please check them when we move them back. You can rest assured that Second Uncle will do his job!"
Yun Qingqing took the few thin pages of ledger he handed over. She knew without flipping through them that he just picked up some things to deal with her. Did he really think she was stupid?
She smiled and said, "Why do we have to wait until we get back to check? I'll check it here before moving."
Yun Zhiping's color slightly paused:
"But it took a lot of effort to pack these things. Wouldn't it be a waste of time to open and count them one by one?"
The leader of the labor team also said in a rough voice:
"It will cost extra money to go through all this trouble."
"I'm short of that little money?" Yun Qingqing was unmoved, "Just count it here."
She was a little surprised. Yun Zhiping was obviously afraid that she would have to reconcile the accounts, but he didn't seem to be in a hurry.
As if answering her guess, Yun Bailian's voice suddenly came from behind her:
"Sister, why did you come here? It's so hard for me to find you!"
Yun Qingqing turned around and saw Yun Bailian rushing over with a palace maid.
"The Queen has summoned the two of us to the palace. Let's go quickly and don't keep her waiting anxiously."
...No wonder Yun Zhiping wasn't worried at all, it turns out he was waiting here!
Yun Zhiping was so proud that his wrinkled face was covered with smiles:
"Since the Queen has summoned you, Qingqing, you should go quickly. If you are worried about this place, then you can leave it as is and wait for you to come back to check it out, right?"
"Don't worry, it will be exactly the same as in the account book!"
As for things other than the account books, haha…
"That's not necessary," Yun Qingqing looked at his smug face and smiled.
She directly commanded a group of workers:
"Put your things down first and get out!"
Yun Bailian's face turned cold:
"What do you mean, do you have to waste time here? How long do you want the Queen to wait for you?"
Yun Qingqing smiled and said:
"I need to get dressed so as not to offend the Queen! It won't take long, why do you insist on stopping me?"
"..." Yun Bailian didn't expect that she would also use the Queen Mother to pressure others, and she was choked and speechless.
Yun Qingqing asked the workers to put down the boxes, drove everyone out, and then slammed the warehouse door shut.
Yun Zhiping and Yun Bailian looked at each other and discussed that if she didn't come out after counting to a hundred, they would break down the door and let the palace maids put pressure on her in the name of the queen to get her out.
In short, all the wealth that was accumulated with great effort can be washed away with today's actions. Even the Regent cannot snatch it back openly!
The two men were keeping a close eye on the time, but before they had finished counting to fifty, the warehouse door opened a crack.
Yun Qingqing came out from the crack of the door, brushed her skirt, and directly pulled Qiao'er onto the horse, smiling:
"Since the Queen has summoned me urgently, I will leave first. See you in the palace later!"
She pulled the reins and the black horse galloped away, leaving Qiao'er with only a series of screams.
"Ahhh Miss, I'm scared... "
Yun Bailian was confused:
"She... is leaving now?"
Yun Zhiping snorted coldly:
"Oh, she's just a yellow-haired girl. I guess she thinks she's rich as a princess and doesn't care about these things at all."
Yun Bailian frowned and said:
"Father, don't let your guard down. What if she goes to the Regent for support again?"
Yun Zhiping suddenly realized what was going on and quickly called the workers:
"Come on, come on, hurry up and move! Except for the things that were counted earlier, pack them all up and move them away. Don't leave anything behind!"
The laborers pushed open the warehouse door, turned around and glared:
"Sir, are you kidding me? This place is obviously empty, what are you asking us to move?"
Yun Zhiping and Yun Bailian rushed over to take a look and were horrified.
Where are the gold, silver, treasures, antiques, calligraphy and paintings that were just piled high in the warehouse?
How come it’s all empty!
